[london] Dan Wieden, chief creative officer and CEO of Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore., will be the president of the film, print and outdoor juries at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, France, in June 2003. Mr. Wieden's agency won the film Grand Prix last year for "Tag," a Nike commercial that created a giant urban game of tag. Next year's June 15-21 event-a week earlier than usual-will be the festival's 50th year.
